a few thousand years

Chapter 36 The Regret That I Didn't Hear
"Du Jia, do you know what's wrong?" The master with a ruler in his hand reprimanded the child in front of him.

"I got it wrong, Mr." The child named Du Jia lowered his head
"Well, you stand here first, and come in after the class is over." After finishing speaking, he walked into the classroom.

Seeing the teacher walk in, he made a face at his back.

It was drizzling outside, and it wasn't too cold in early spring, so I stood outside and clasped my fingers boredly.

With his ears pressed against the wall, he quietly listened to the lectures, not interested in those articles that he didn't understand.

I just want to listen to who is talking secretly, and tell the teacher after class that maybe the next time I make a mistake, I will make it easier.

But I didn't hear anyone whispering until the hall, so I touched my head: "It's really disappointing."

"Crack!" After being hit on the back of the head, he turned his head angrily.

Before he had time to get angry, he saw the person coming and smiled again: "Zhao Yuan, why are you here?"

In front of her was a pretty girl, dressed in clothes with two balls tied on her head, she looked very cute and lovable.

The little girl with a sullen face lightly kicked the heartless man in front of her again: "Why did you get punished again by your husband!"

He didn't answer her, but pulled her to a place where no one was around, took out a red flower from his pocket, put it on Zhao Yuan's head, looked at it for a while and praised: "It's so beautiful, I just feel it This flower must look good on your head."

Seeing his excessive behavior, Zhao Yuan hit him angrily, and quickly picked off the flowers, but fortunately there was no one around.

I looked at the flowers in my hand, ah! "Isn't this the flower of Master Xun? You picked it off? No wonder you were punished! You deserve it."

Du Jia didn't take it seriously, and shamelessly asked her for credit.

She slapped her on the head, causing him to hug his head and howl.

Then he took him to a meadow with some wild flowers nearby.

Zhao Yuan dug a small hole, buried the flower in it, and then wiped it off his body with wet muddy hands.

Du Jia didn't hide, looked at her silly and smiled, and said in an aggrieved tone: "I will be told by my mother again when I go back."

"Let's go, I'm going to go to court later"

Du Jia, this boy, was also uneasy when his master was giving lectures, and kept staring at her, throwing a small note from time to time.

As long as they don't cause trouble and don't disturb others, they just turn a blind eye to such naughty boys.

If you still disturb others, then you can't bear it anymore, just stretch out your hand and be punished.

Maybe it's because he's naturally heartless, or because he has too much tolerance in his heart, or he keeps making mistakes over and over again.

In the end, they finally waited until school was over, and followed Zhao Yuan all the way shamelessly, and finally had to separate at a fork in the road.

The family is mediocre, farming is a job, and my mother and father haven't come back when I get home, so I'm used to it.

He dug out the comic books he had hidden under the bed, and ran to Old Man Wang's house not far from the next door to herd cattle.

This is the job my mother found for me. I manage two meals and earn a few pocket money a day.

I patted the cow, and took today's food from Old Man Wang. It's delicious cooked food.

Weighed a few coins, turned it over to the ox, and took it to a place with fresh grass and good fat.

Cover part of the comic book with clothes, this is the money he has saved for a long time to buy.

The body swayed back and forth like a cow's tail.

Leisurely wandered to a pleasant place, jumped down, patted the cow's body, and ran under a nearby tree by himself, just to shelter from the rain.

He took out the cooked food and ate it with relish, staring at the baby book intently.

In fact, I have read this book many times, but I can’t get tired of it. I really envy those martial arts masters in it who are so powerful, as well as those heroes who punish rape and eliminate evil. They are so handsome. It would be great if I were like them up.

When he sees the excitement, he will stand up, put on a posture and punch a few times.

In this way, when it was getting dark, I led the cow back.

When I got home, my parents would come back, and my mother would prepare hot meals, and my father would occasionally bring some food back.

............................
When Zhao Yuan arrived at home, she didn't have anyone she needed to be a buddy. Her mother was very capable and loved her very much.

When I come home every day, I just read a book in another place.

In the scriptures of sages and sages, what is said cannot be measured, just like you cannot guess other people's minds.

If you are hungry, just fool yourself with a mouthful to fill your stomach, and continue reading the book.

It's not that she likes reading and studying so much. Her mother once said that women in our family must learn to be self-reliant and have enough ability to support themselves, and they cannot rely on those unconscionable men.

At night, a woman who was covered in mud and dirt came back and saw her daughter who was studying by lighting a lamp.

The face that couldn't make an expression because of exhaustion smiled reluctantly and patted her head.

Seeing my mother came back, I quickly moved a small stool for her to sit down, and then ran to fetch water by myself.

After taking a sip of water, my daughter regained some energy under the hard massage.

He opened his mouth and said, "Yuanyuan, did you listen to your teacher at school?"

"Listen"

If you get your daughter, you will feel at ease.

Zhao Yuan cleverly cooked a few simple dishes for dinner.

During the meal, Zhao Yuan was asked if that kid from the Du family had bothered her recently.

Zhao Yuan repeatedly waved her hands to say no.

"That's fine. If that kid disturbs your studies, you can tell my husband or me. Men don't have a good thing. The most important thing is to take care of yourself..."

Zhao Yuan didn't speak, just lowered her head and ate the rice.

........................ ..
The second is that as usual, there will be an extra Du Jia who always loves to laugh at the intersection, sometimes holding some candy or a small flower in his hand, just to make her happy.

The little girl originally listened to her mother's words, but after a long time, the little girl just let him go.

It was just like this day after day, on the last day when Mengxue was about to end completely.

Du Jia didn't want to leave early as long as she did, but walked quietly to Master Xun's house, and looked out the window to see that no one was there.

Flipping in skillfully, he just stabilized his footsteps.A basin by the window is about to be poured.

"not good!"

Hastily reaching out his hand to stabilize it, a pair of hands stabilized it faster than him.

Du Jia was taken aback and wanted to run back.

Two balls leaked out from the window, it turned out to be Zhao Yuan.

Looking at Du Jia angrily, he was a little embarrassed to be caught on the spot.

Turning inside, he twisted Du Jia's ear and said, "What are you doing here? Are you messing around?"

"It hurts, it hurts, let go first"

Zhao Yuan let go of her hand and stared at him closely.

Du Jia said embarrassingly: "Isn't this going to make Master Xun invisible? This is my last chance for revenge."

Zhao Yuan was puzzled: "Revenge? What kind of revenge?"

In a pile of neatly stacked books, there was a ruler, and he trembled subconsciously when he saw the ruler.

Carefully picked it up, pointed to it and said to Zhao Yuan: "Just it, today I will fight to the death with it"

Regardless of Zhao Yuan's astonishment, she went through the window and almost knocked over the flower pot when she did, but fortunately Zhao Yuan reacted quickly.

Following Du Jia's figure, he stopped by a bush and took out a small wooden saw from it.

Aiming at the ruler is a tug of war.

Unexpectedly, the ruler was not moved by the saw.

Seeing that there was no trace of damage, he was very angry, and even aimed at the stone and smashed it down, but the result was the same.

This made Zhao Yuan, who came behind, also surprised by such a strange thing.

When he was exhausted, he decided to fight another day, so he stuffed it into his arms so that his parents could not find out.

However, Zhao Yuan disagreed with this approach and asked him to return it, threatening to ignore him again.

Finally, after a lot of begging, she agreed to let him find something of her own to give Master Xun as compensation.

every other day
A master surnamed Xun found that the ruler on his desk was missing, but he saw a little book about martial arts.

A little confused, I knocked on the table a few times and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

"Forget it, just treat it as a deal."

........................

This kid Du Jia struggled with the ruler for a long time, and finally after being roasted, soaked in water, pressed heavily, bitten by dogs and other tortures, he still remained motionless.

In the end, just put it together with your unused school supplies to get ashes.

There is no need to continue studying, crying and shouting with my parents, I finally stopped learning deeper things.

I just do various jobs in this way, although my studies are not good, but I am very diligent, and I do everything neatly, so I can always please customers.

The days go by slowly, which is good.

One bad thing is that I can no longer see Zhao Yuan often, which is a pity.

Zhao Yuan really wanted to study because of her mother, but her mother was also annoying, she always looked down on herself and prevented herself from seeing Zhao Yuan, saying that men don't have a good thing every day.

With a dog's tail grass in his mouth that he didn't know where to pick, he was thinking about something with a silly smile on his face, and soon fell asleep.

It was dark in the blink of an eye, and I sat up from the water grass and patted the dust.

After washing my face with lake water, I became sober.

In the blink of an eye, he grew from a hairy kid with a bigger fart to a handsome young man.

The wind at night was still so comfortable, and I kicked stones all the way back home.

"Father! Mother, I'm back"

Pushing open the door, although Dad is not as strong as before, but his body is still strong, sitting there drinking a small wine.

Mother is still as virtuous as ever, no matter how busy she is, she can cook a hot and delicious meal.

But the gradually graying hair still made Du Jia feel distressed.

Seeing Du Jia came back, he was furious: "Why did you come back so late?"

"One step carefully fell asleep, haha"

As soon as he heard the reason, he took out the rolling pin from the kitchen and slapped Du Jia's ass lightly.

He reprimanded in his mouth: "I will let you sleep and let you come home late!"

Du Jia just laughed, not caring about the little pain, and got used to it.

Du Jia's father, who was drinking at the side, couldn't stand it anymore, put down his glass and said, "Mother, stop beating, that's fine, how old are you and still treat him like a child?"

Really stopped, put the rolling pin back to its original position, looked at her husband with idiot eyes, and said: "What's the matter, no matter how old he is, he is still my child, what if I hit him a few times? you fight together"

Suddenly he stopped talking, and picked up the wine glass to drink again, his eyes dodging.

Du Jia picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food, but was slapped by his mother: "Sit down and eat, what does it sound like to stand up?"

When my mother sat down with me, she started to gobble it up, and kept adding food to Du Jia, saying "eat slowly, eat slowly".

Put a piece of good meat from the husband's bowl into Du Jia's bowl, and see his wife dote on him like this, but he can't help it.

Fortunately, the stinky boy is a good person by nature, thinking about it, the wine in his mouth suddenly seems not so spicy.

A question was asked, and Du Jia swallowed the spitting voraciously.

"Du Jia, do you have any girls you like?"

The subtext is that it's time to find a wife, and it's time to have one at this time.

He waved his hands again and again and said, "No, no, I think it's pretty good to be alone." But when he said this, he thought of Zhao Yuan's appearance for some reason, and his face turned slightly red.

Hearing the child's words, I felt a little pity: "Your father is right, you are too old, what a pity."

Seeing Du Jia blushing, I was a little confused: "Oh, you are blushing, let me see."

She wanted to touch his forehead with her hand to see if it was hot, but she refused.

"Be obedient! Let me see!"

Finally, I was relieved after confirming that it was normal, so why did I suddenly blush.

Can't help but sighed: "Didn't you always cling to that mandarin when you were a child, and you originally wanted to talk about matchmaking?"

Hearing Zhao Yuan's name, her face turned even redder, and she stammered a little: "No...no need, mother, I'm fine by myself"

Seeing her child's state, she finally understood why, this brat was a bit like his father.

Turning his head to look at the child's father, he snorted, and was stared at in a daze, what's wrong with him?Another sip of wine suppressed the shock.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, Du Jia said, "I'm full and go out to digest food, and I'll be back soon."

"Hey, just eat this little, where are you going?"

The back gradually drifted away, and he could only sigh.

.................. ..
Some are restless, their thoughts are a little messy, and they wander around.

I stopped in front of a house that was still lit, huh?How did I get here? Isn't this Zhao Yuan's house?

Standing by the window and looking inside quietly, a woman who has long since shed her hair but still has a pretty face is reading the works of a certain sage under an oil lamp.

The woman who noticed something saw a face staring at her with a smirk, she was so scared that she almost shouted, but fortunately there was moonlight, it turned out to be Du Jia.

He patted his chest and took a few breaths: "Huh, you scared me to death, why are you here now?"

Du Jia didn't speak, just stared at her.

Some wondered what was wrong with him, and didn't say a word.

Du Jia was a little flustered, and his face that had just disappeared turned red inexplicably in an instant.

"What's wrong with you? Don't say a word"

Her lips moved slightly as if she had said something, and Zhao Yuan's mother's voice suddenly sounded.

Zhao Yuan hurriedly picked up the book again, waited for a while and found that her mother hadn't come in, and looked outside the window that the lying person had disappeared.

..................... ..
Sometimes, accidents are always caught off guard.

Du Jia, who was helping others, was suddenly stopped by his client and told him to go back quickly, something happened to his mother.

He ran home desperately, already out of breath.

I saw the dry tobacco that my father hadn't smoked for a long time dangling from his mouth.Suck up and get up, and the straight body has already bent down.

Shouted loudly: "Father! Where is my mother!"

Seeing his son come back, he showed a smiling face that was uglier than crying: "Your mother is dying soon"

Hearing this, he broke into the door directly and remembered the familiar but much quieter voice.

"Is it Jiaer?"

The voice of the woman on the bed was a little weak, her voice was extremely low, and her complexion was much different from a few days ago.

"How could this be! It was fine a few days ago."

Kneeling on the side, weeping uncontrollably, with tears and snot running down his nose.

"Good boy! Don't cry. Hades told us to leave. We can't help it. It's just a pity. I didn't see you grow up, marry someone you like, and see you..."

It was as if he was exhausted before he finished speaking, and he fell into a deep sleep, breathless.

"How could this happen! Dad, hurry up and hire a doctor! I want the best!"

A light voice came into my ears: "I've been here a long time ago, and I can't see what caused the problem, which made my breathing messy and hopeless."

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! I don't care, I will keep looking! Find the best one for mother!"

is that useful?Maybe, the woman lost her breath in the middle of the night a few days later.

In the next few days, after the coffin went down, the whole person became numb.

Feeling lost, without the smile of the past, haggard a lot.

A person sat alone in a stream, looking at himself printed upside down in the water.

Something appeared on his head, and in the reflection in the water, two balls appeared on his head.

Turning her head, it was Zhao Yuan who had her hair tied up again. It seemed that from the past few days, she would always look at herself from a distance with her hair tied up.

Zhao Yuan said, "What are you going to do?"

Du Jia replied: "I'm going to go out and make a fortune to join the army."

Simple questions and answers that speak to his future.

In this way, on the day when he left his hometown, he waved goodbye to everyone.

At the end of the crowd, someone wore a red dress, tied two balls, and held a red flower in his hand.

And the man facing forward glanced at Yuan Yuan before leaving, his mouth moved silently, no one knew what he said.

Just like back then, one is close while the other is far away.

..............................

Year after year, many years in a flash.

The little girl back then now runs a private school and is a well-known teacher nearby.

Everyone respects Mr.

The female teacher who was answering questions had to stop teaching because of the ridicule outside.

Men, women and children in the village are surrounded by several burly men, whom she can vaguely recognize.

It was a few fellow countrymen who joined the army with Du Jia a long time ago. They came back, so did Du Jia also come back?

He looked around among those few people, but he didn't see Du Jia.

There was a bitter voice, and it was only then that they realized that there was a large empty space under the feet of the few people.

There are several burdens covered with white cloth.

A bad premonition emerged from Zhao Yuan's heart.

As the white cloth was lifted, there were bitter voices.

When she saw the face she least wanted to see there, her last chance of luck was severely shattered.

At this time, several standing soldiers saw the only general wearing armor and shed tears.

He kept muttering: "General Du, stand in front and die!"

Some held back their tears and asked, where are General Du's family members?
dependents?A few years after Du Jia joined the army, his father left, and it was Zhao Yuan who made the arrangements. Du Jia was truly homeless at that time.

When organizing the funeral, I was pointed at and pointed at, and a lot of disgusting things were said.

By the way, Zhao Yuan's mother also passed away not long after that, leaving Zhao Yuan alone to bear everything.

He took out the handkerchief, and gently wiped the mud off the face of the man in front of him who was covered in scars.

Showing a delicate face, someone was talking about Du Jia's deeds. He has always been brave and good at fighting, and has never been discouraged. The only frustration may be that he has a lovely wife at home to shirk when accepting the female general's love.

Zhao Yuan didn't speak, just quietly looked at this yearning person.

Take him to the old house, hold his hand, it's cold, waiting alone until now, hoping that he will hold her hand and let them have a home.

Instead of leaving her alone again like this.

No, I won't let you leave me anymore.

When someone opened the door again, Zhao Yuan had lost her breath and committed suicide, lying in his arms.

………………

There is an interesting thing, at the last moment when Zhao Yuan lost consciousness, she seemed to hear his voice.

"I love you"

"May there be an afterlife, and I will marry you"

.........................
May lovers in the world get married
